Table 4: Supported AWS Services
| Supported AWS services |
|---|
| EC2: Launches ADC instances. |
| Lambda: Invokes NetScaler VPX NITRO APIs during provisioning of NetScaler VPX instances from CFT. |
| VPC and VPC ingress routing: VPC creates isolated networks in which ADC can be launched. VPC ingress routing is used in the firewall load balancing solution. |
| Route53: Distributes traffic across all the NetScaler VPX nodes in the NetScaler Autoscale solution. |
| ELB: Distributes traffic across all the NetScaler VPX nodes in the NetScaler Autoscale solution. |
| Cloudwatch: Monitors performance and system parameters for NetScaler VPX instance. |
| AWS Autoscaling: Used for back-end server autoscaling. |
| Cloud formation: CloudFormation templates are used to deploy NetScaler VPX instances. |
| Simple Queue Service (SQS): Monitors scale up and scale down events in back-end autoscaling. |
| Simple Notification Service (SNS): Monitors scale up and scale down events in back-end autoscaling. |
| Identity and Access Management (IAM): Provides access to AWS services and resources. |
| AWS Outposts: Provisions NetScaler VPX instances in AWS Outposts. |
NetScaler recommends the following AWS instance types:
- M6i and C5n series for marketplace editions or bandwidth-based pool licensing.
- C5n series for vCPU-based pool licensing.
| VPX with Pooled or Flexed licensing (Bandwidth licenses) | Recommended AWS instance |
|---|---|
| Up to 200 Mbps | m6i.xlarge |
| 1–5 Gbps | m6i.2xlarge |
| 5–8 Gbps | c5n.4xlarge |
| 8–25 Gbps | c5n.9xlarge |
To determine the right instance for your specific needs based on metrics such as packets per second or SSL transaction rates, contact your NetScaler representative for guidance. If you need help with vCPU-based pool licensing and sizing, reach out to NetScaler support.
